Liverpool fans cheered their team on to victory over Villarreal (Picture: Getty Images)

Liverpool fans will only receive 9,000 tickets for this season’s Europa League final clash against Sevilla, it has emerged.

The Reds sealed their place in the match at St Jakob-Park with a semi-final victory over Villarreal on Thursday night, but may feel hard done by with this news.

Sevilla fans will also be allocated just 9,000 seats, with a further 9,000 going to neutral fans and 8,000 going to ‘local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme’, according to the Independent.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has previously said that he expects between 70,000 and 100,000 Reds fans to travel to Switzerland.

Speaking at his press conference today, however, the German has accepted that there is little that can be done to about this disappointing decision.

Klopp on ticket allocation for the final: "What I learned in life is not to think about things we can't change."
